S&W Seed Company, headquartered in Longmont, Colorado, is a global agricultural company specializing in proprietary sorghum and alfalfa seeds, with a focus on sustainable biofuel feedstocks.
In its third quarter fiscal 2025 earnings report, S&W Seed Company announced a modest revenue increase and significant improvements in gross profit margins, despite ongoing challenges in the global sorghum market.
The company’s revenue for the quarter was $9.6 million, marking a 2% increase from the previous year. Notably, the gross profit margin improved to 37.7% from 24.6% in the prior year, driven by strategic shifts towards high-margin sorghum products. Operating expenses decreased to $4.3 million, contributing to a reduced net loss of $2.2 million compared to $5.5 million in the same quarter last year. Additionally, S&W achieved a positive Adjusted EBITDA of $0.2 million, a significant turnaround from a negative $2.2 million in the previous year.
Despite these positive developments, the company faces challenges due to new tariffs affecting exports to China, historically a major market for sorghum. This has led to a revised revenue guidance for fiscal 2025, now expected to be between $29.0 and $31.0 million, down from $38.0 million in fiscal 2024.
Looking forward, S&W Seed Company remains optimistic about its strategic focus on high-value sorghum traits, which are expected to drive future growth and profitability. The company’s leadership believes that the nutritional benefits of sorghum will continue to attract demand, positioning S&W well for long-term success in the agricultural sector.
